Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the business landscape, and this is especially true for anyone working in compliance.

A new report on the use of artificial intelligence in financial services predicts that the technology will drive profits, disruptions, and change over the next decade.
Data governance has become a key concern for companies, especially when the EU AI Act and General Data Protection Regulation have put a premium on handling data responsibly and ensuring that artificial intelligence does not cause harm.
The era of artificial intelligence adoption is testing the old ways of doing compliance, underscoring the need for continuous monitoring. Compliance isn’t a one-and-done activity, but sometimes organizational incentives and goals fail to prioritize the importance of this.
While companies are exploring and building artificial intelligence technology, lawmakers and regulators are trying to identify what ground rules they need to set. These guardrails are what companies and governments alike believe are essential parts of ensuring safe and responsible use of the technology.
